EUCINF Showcases its Vision for Information Resilience at the International Cybersecurity Forum (FIC) 2024
The International Cybersecurity Forum (FIC) 2024, held in Lille, France, once again confirmed its position as one of Europe's most influential events dedicated to cybersecurity, digital trust and technological innovation. Every year, the forum brings together policymakers, cybersecurity agencies, research organisations, technology providers and industry leaders to exchange ideas on the challenges shaping the future of Europe's digital security landscape.
Through a combination of keynote speeches, technical sessions, exhibitions and networking activities, FIC provides an ideal environment for discussing emerging cyber threats, technological developments and the policies required to strengthen resilience across the European Union. The event encourages collaboration between public institutions and private organisations while fostering dialogue on the strategic role that cybersecurity plays in protecting critical infrastructures, digital services and democratic societies.
As part of its dissemination activities, the EUCINF project participated in the forum through a presentation delivered by Florence Ferrando (FWD) at the European Union Pavilion. The session introduced the project's objectives and highlighted its contribution to addressing the growing challenges associated with information operations, hybrid threats and the increasing complexity of today's digital environment.
The presentation explained how EUCINF is developing an innovative AI-driven toolbox supported by configurable applications and experimental platforms designed to facilitate the detection, analysis and understanding of complex information environments. By combining advanced technologies with flexible architectures, the project aims to contribute to the development of solutions capable of supporting organisations operating in rapidly evolving cyber and information domains.
Beyond the technical presentation, participation in FIC 2024 offered the consortium an excellent opportunity to engage with a wide community of European stakeholders working across cybersecurity, defence, research and digital innovation. The event encouraged valuable exchanges of knowledge, allowing project representatives to discuss common challenges, identify potential synergies with other initiatives and strengthen relationships with organisations committed to enhancing Europe's cyber resilience.
International forums such as FIC play a fundamental role in connecting research projects with operational communities, ensuring that innovative developments remain aligned with real-world needs. These interactions also contribute to increasing the visibility of European collaborative projects while promoting the exchange of best practices and encouraging the adoption of innovative technological approaches.
EUCINF's participation in the International Cybersecurity Forum 2024 reflects the consortium's ongoing commitment to supporting collaboration, innovation and knowledge sharing throughout the European cybersecurity ecosystem. By presenting its work within one of Europe's leading cybersecurity events, the project continues to strengthen its engagement with the wider research and defence communities while contributing to the development of more resilient, secure and trustworthy digital environments. As cybersecurity and information resilience become increasingly interconnected, participation in events such as FIC remains an essential component of EUCINF's dissemination strategy and its broader mission of supporting European technological cooperation and innovation.
